Having the skills to repair things is very important...

However, you also need the good tools to accomplish the task! Here are three tools that are a must have in your toolkit.

Let's start!

1️⃣ #2 Phillips Screwdriver: An essential tool that will come in handy for the majority of your repair or assembly tasks. It's indispensable, being used in about 80% of cases, thanks to the widespread use of #2 Phillips head fasteners in various applications.

My Recommendation: Opt for screwdrivers with hard plastic handles as they tend to last longer than those with soft rubber inserts.

2️⃣ Utility Knife: This versatile knife is perfect for a range of DIY cutting tasks, from opening boxes to cutting sheetrock. The utility knife is always handy, and with its replaceable razor blades, you can rely on it to stay sharp.

My Recommendation: My personal favorite is the Stanley 99e – a no-frills knife that will last you for many decades.

3️⃣ Rip Claw Hammer: Setting itself apart from typical hammers, this unique tool features a straight claw for better prying and versatility in both finish carpentry and framing tasks.

My Recommendation: Often available in a 20 oz. size, this weight provides a perfect balance of heaviness and ease of use, Eastwing is a great brand to buy.

Equip yourself with these essential tools, and you'll be on your way to kitting out a real toolbox!
